If you haven’t been here for their Tinsel town pop up you have to put it on your to-do list. This place is incredible. Such a vibe. Incredible food, service, decor and fun people. We had such a great time. They have some amazing holiday drink options, daily specials, free popcorn, live music and delicious food. 95.1 was there when we were and we won a beernament and got some koozies and free beer. They have swag to buy, a huge bar with TVs to watch the game, they have a huge meal selection and their prices are very reasonable. We absolutely love it here and will be back.

If you haven’t been to Sunset Grill to see their holiday decorations, put it on your list right now! We’re new to Antioch and this was our first visit… This place has a total vibe. Great food, amazing décor, and super fun people. I had a burger (cooked perfectly), my wife had shrimp tacos (out of this world), plus onion rings with the best ranch we’ve ever had! No clue what magic is in that sauce, but WOW. Holiday drinks, free popcorn, massive bar with TVs, and something for everyone. A little pricey ($80 for 2 drinks and 2 meals), but worth it. We’ll definitely be back—especially by boat this summer!

Always a fantastic experience. The staff is all friendly and seems genuinely glad to work there. The location and views of the lake are superb, and they’re friendly to bikers, boaters, and families. But the FOOD…..fantastic. The steak sliders melt in your mouth. The ‘cheese curds’ are not the typical Sysco/GFS ones. These are hand-breaded cubes and they are the absolute best I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend this place enough.

First time visit and couldn’t be happier. New owners with a first time breakfast menu. I had the veggie omelette with potatoes which was fresh and tasted delicious. The toast was actually good too and normally I don’t say anything about that. Perfectly toasted! The decor was amazing especially with Valentine’s Day coming up. Not sure who the decorators are but omg! The views are beautiful as you’re not looking at trees or closeup houses but a lake. Lastly the the server Tammy was exceptional to say the least. Once she introduced her to us she always had a smile on her face. She made sure everything was good and kept my coffee hot and full. I hope she gets some recognition because it would be a shame to not appreciate what good employees do to make the experience that more amazing. Definitely recommend and will be back for the lunch and dinner. The new owners sure know how to excite their customers!

So much fun! We went for the Christmas fun and it didn’t disappoint! The kids had a great time and loved the shakes. The atmosphere was jumping and the Santa was a nice bonus. They even gave us some free cookies for the kiddos! The food was pretty good, and the milkshakes were great! Service was a little slower in the beginning but then picked up. The lakefront view was awesome as well. We will definitely be back!

The food, drinks, and overall atmosphere were incredible. Everything we ordered was delicious, well presented, and came out quickly. The space itself was fun and inviting, and it’s somewhere I would absolutely return to based on the food and vibe alone.
Unfortunately, our experience was significantly impacted by our server, Riley. While the restaurant itself was excellent, the service felt unprofessional and uncomfortable at times. There was an overly familiar tone and behavior that didn’t feel appropriate for a guest experience and took away from what should have been a really great night.
It’s disappointing because the rest of the experience was genuinely amazing. I would love to come back, but only if the server was different.

Great staff, food, views and live music! Docked the boat and had a great time on a Sunday afternoon (music 2-5pm). Delicious cocktail and husband said best burger he’s had in a long time!

The location of this restaurant is far in the outskirts. As we walk in there is a sign that says please wait to be seated. No employee nearby and we walk in. We are greeted about 2-3 minutes where we are finally seated.
The view we have is spectacular. Right on a small lake. Some people come here by boat and dock here before walking in.
They offer a decent sized bowl of popcorn free of charge. Just be forewarned water is well water. If you dislike the taste, avoid the sodas and order a bottle drink instead. The waitress was very nice and a little sassy which made it feel more like home.
The ahi tuna was very tasty and the spicy mayo complimented it well. As for the fries they were bland and burger was juicy, however also bland. Salt was needed for both. The barbecue and pineapple made the burger better. Overall the price was slightly expensive for the amount and quality.

We haven’t eaten here in years as everytime we went the wait times were really long so we left. We went last night and learned why – the food was outstanding. I had the Salmon and my girlfriend had the Grouper. Both meals were top notch. To make it even better, the place was nicely decorated for the holidays (a little early perhaps but we’ll take it). They earned 5 stars from us as the food, atmosphere, and service were excellent. Highly recommended.
